quote:
the particular tornado that ripped through Tuscaloosa I believe first touched down near Philidelphia, Mississippi and wasn't fully gone until it was in Georgia.
Unless the tornado was off the ground for a very long time, the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa touched down just to the west of 69 in Tuscaloosa.

Same storm system possibly but I believe that tornado ended in north ga destroying a town. Random destroyers like these suck and we should all be aware we can be in the crosshairs.

Yeah, was doing some research just now and it did dissipate at several points but the cell that produced the the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa first produced a tornado in Mississippi, it dissipated and later produced a second tornado that was the one that hit Tuscaloosa and it stayed on the ground until it was east of Birmingham, dissipated again, and then produced another tornado just before the St. Clair County border that stayed on the ground until Georgia
This image tracks the paths of the tornados that day, but you can easily see the path that particular cell took

My son and his family were living in B'ham at the time. He called me and said Dad...I'm watching a tornado tear up Tuscaloosa live on TV. That same day (might have been the same tornado) it went north of downtown Birmingham...my daughter in law was a nurse at UAB hospital and she was working and took a photo of it several stories up in the hospital....it was huge!!!
Where I live in West Tn. we had tornado's in my area in 1999, 2001, 2003, 2006 and 2008. We've had others hit other areas of West Tn. since...The latest one this past Christmas Eve about 50 miles from here. When they are calling for bad weather around here my arse pays attention.

I read all of these in a Tom Rinaldi voice.
Still hard to believe it was so powerful in such a densely populated area. Never expected.
